This time I saw Maria and her fantastic band at KulturHavn at Islands Brygge in Copenhagen. Maria had played at the opening event two days before (one song only: Homeward Bound). But this Saturday afternoon she was backed by a reduced band, as the keyboardplayer, Philip, was occupied with another job. So the sound was different compared to a full band backing. Though I prefer the keyboard included, Maria's brother, Jacob, proved how excellent a guitarist he is - playing in the old 60's rock-guitar tradition, - Dylan/Band fashion.
Instead we got Kaspar Vig on additional vocals and harmonica. It was only his second time at stage with the band, as he joined their very first supporting job. But he contributed to Maria's most overseen debut album, Burn The Bridge, where he sang in the choir on Guess You Are Mad At Me and Homeward Bound, and the harmonica on Ocean Of Tears.

After the short set, I made a couple of "back-stage" portraits of Maria, which can be viewed at the bottom of this side.
